The other night I was talking to amonkie about this run and with all the runners we have on the forum, (me not being one of them) I figured this topic might be interesting.

Basically, this is an offshoot of the annual Bay to Breakers run in San Francisco. Bay to Breakers seems to attract all sorts of runners. Some people wear the typical running garb while others wear ridiculous costumes. Bare to Breakers is a group that runs the race nude. Many will do silly things like dying pubic hair outrageous colors to painting their entire bodies.
While I am not a runner, even if I was I am not sure I could run the race in the nude. For one, as amonkie and I were discussing, the girls bouncing would hurt! Maybe this isn't a problem for smaller breasted women. I would imagine man junk bouncing might become uncomfortable as well. Maybe if I was in better shape and other things didn't bounce along with the girls, I might be tempted to do it. I can imagine that it would be quite a freeing and exhilarating experience.
I knew a few people in my undergrad who went, and I think the guy did if not nude then at least mostly nude. Said it was a blast and that everyone is really friendly.
So to the runners and non-runners alike, would any of you be willing to not only run this race but do it while naked? Why or why not? What do you think you would get out of it? If you are not comfortable being completely nude would you wear a costume or some skimpy bit of clothing?
